The history of American Orientalism was the subject of this traveling exhibition organized by the Clark. Far broader than any previous museum show devoted to this topic, the exhibition broke new ground in drawing on the expertise of scholars specializing in Islamic art and culture to look at the Orientalist attitudes in American Art.

This exhibition presented 77 paintings by the artists most closely associated with Impressionism (Monet, Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Berthe Morisot, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley); by notable precursors (Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, Charles Francois Daubigny, Honore Daumier, Theodore Rousseau); and by a major successor, Vincent van Gogh. It was organized in association with the National Gallery, London, and the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.

This collection contains records of the Clark's exhibitions from 1994 to 2010. Records include checklists, planning and research materials, related events, ephemera, press materials, and photography. The exhibitions Sugaring Off (2004), Medieval Mystery (2004-2005), The Clark Brothers Collect (2006), and Dove/O’Keeffe (2009) are notable due to their large amount of research materials.
